REVIEW: SOLD TO THE HITMAN BY ALEXIS ABBOTT

She's terrified of me. She should be.

I'm no saint, but apparently even killers have limits. When the Bratva hired me as security for the night, I didn't know it was a flesh trade. I could have kept my cool, done my job, but then I saw her. Pure as a lily, dressed in skimpy lingerie, and being auctioned off to the foulest men in Brighton Beach.

I'm not used to this white knight sh*t, but I did what I had to do. I outbid those pieces of trash and bought myself a bride.

What the hell do I do with a sweet, subservient woman who's been trained to obey her husband? I can think of some things my baser instincts want me to do... But when she submits to me, I'm going to be the man that deserves it, not just the one she owes it to. So I'm going to make her life better. I'm going to make her want me just as bad as I want her.

And at night, when my new princess is slumbering, I'm going to make every one of those pimps pay in blood.

MY RATING: 4.5 STARS
MY REVIEW: Thank you Alexis Abbott for robbing me of my sleep. I read Sold to the Hitman until the sun just began to rise, and loved every second of this book. This was a wonderful book, and I'm so happy to have read it. I'll need a day to recover from this because my brain is feeling foggy today from lack of sleep. The synopsis was what intrigued me and it didn't disappoint. I just had to keep on reading to find out what was gonna happen. I really loved the two introduction chapters when we get to meet both main characters. The alternating perspectives were done beautifully.
Even though I personally would have preferred just a touch more action,
I can definitely say this book was well balanced between the mafia backdrop and the love story that unfolds between the main characters. I especially enjoyed learning about Cassie in this book, and I couldn't imagine growing up as sheltered as she did. Cassie's story broke my heart and reeled me in at the same time. Seriously, Andrei.... what a hero! Sigh! This is my first book by this author who kindly sent me an advanced proof in exchange for my honest review. I need more, so I'll be moving on to Owned by the Hitman next.
Yes, I do believe I have a book hangover lol.
